Clerk and Recorder Miscellaneous Recordings

1845-1974

Series documents the recording of a variety of legal documents filed in
the clerk's or recorder's office. These documents were not required to be
filed with the clerk and often included filings such as birth and marriage
certificates of individuals who were born or married outside of the county
but wanted the document to be filed in their county of residence. Other
documents include wills, obligation bonds, quit claims, deeds, conveyances,
mortgage satisfactions, agreements, charters, partnership dissolutions,
contracts, powers of attorney, liens, leases, marriage licenses, military
discharges, ministerial certificates, medical personnel licenses, birth
and death certificates, and affidavits of publication. Information includes
dates filed, name of individual filing, type of action, and volume and page
number where recorded. Series may also include alphabetical indexes of individuals
filing a recording. Clerk and Recorder Miscellaneous Recordings have been
inventoried through 1965.
